<p>I wasn’t planning to record today. I was journaling in my robe at 5 AM when I realized something important:I’ve spent so long trying to be polished, to be perfect, to do everything the way I thought I should. But I’m not one thing. I’m a student and a teacher. A scientist and a soul seeker. Funny and thoughtful. And I don’t want to wait until I’ve “arrived” to start showing up.In this video, I open up about:- Navigating overwhelm while building a purpose-driven life- The fear of being seen (and misunderstood)- Letting go of perfectionism and imposter syndrome- Pivoting when life doesn’t go as planned- Becoming your own best friendI’m not here to be your guru. I’m here to be real with you, in case you&#39;re feeling the same way.If this resonates, please like + subscribe.
